10/10 Exceptional

Good service

The caretaker was very serviceminded and made the stay very pleasent.
Christer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Modern room

Host friendly when we arrived. No parking - only had 3 cars on front. Could park our car for free across the road. Believe was a school car park. We entered the building from a side door to the new part of the building. On entrance was tea/coffee making facilities for all of the room (think 6 rooms?)Room new, modern and well decorated including bathroom. Room (20) not huge but adequate for 2 nights. Was at the front of the building so had to shut the window in the early hours because of traffic noise. Bus stop very close and easy to get into Edinburgh. I would book again.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

As usual for Edinburg Guest houses, the value for money was rather poor. Pros: spacious room, good beds, everything was clean. Cons: no parking space as stated in the booking, no breakfast (!!!), the bathroom was designed for disabled people, so the sink was much to low; teeth brushing wasn't possible for "normal"people.
Fridtjof, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Don’t do it

I won’t stay there or recommend it to anyone. The noise from adjoining rooms, common area and outside was frustrating, The room was small and no room for cases The TV only had movie streaming, no tv channels There was not enough car parking for the rooms and relied on stack parking who’s is not functional
Kathryn, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room 6 compares more to a broom cupboard than a small room. One electric socket, no working heating except the last evening of our stay, light was provided by a naked light bulb. The so called bathroom has no heating at all. It all felt very uncomfortable and not inviting.
Martina, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price

The stay was suitable for our trip, the room was clean. The only thing I would like to add is that the facilities just need adjusting e.g more toiletries to be offered, and things like a iron to be added downstairs if you did need them, and the door slams so maybe a clasp or something to be added to make it quieter for other guests.
Jordane, 2-night trip

Clean and fresh no frills accommodation

Comfortable beds, very clean and freshly decorated. We were in the modern extension and there was real lack of soundproofing as we could hear our neighbours chatting etc. No one onsite which meant we didn't feel like we could ask for extra pillows when we realised in the evening that there was only one on one of the beds and we felt it too late to ask. Initially no hairdryer in room or tv remote control, staff were on site at the time dealing with check-ins and quickly rectified this but we later found remote was for a different make so tv still didn't work. Shared tea and coffee facilities (not in room) but downstairs and no teabags left on evening we arrived also no sink down there to fill kettle. Very limited parking but lots of places to park for free in surrounding side streets. Overall the place was clean and freshly decorated, the beds comfy and bathroom fresh and modern so for a night it was absolutely fine.

Good value

Very good location for the price, not too far from the city center. Close to Portobello Beach. Clean. Nice bigh bathroom with a bathtub, not in the room as stated in the booking, which I did not mind as I only stayed one night. Would come back.
Ana, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad experience

We were blinded by the photos on the Internet. The reality is completely different. For example, the rooms are small and don't even have a wardrobe. The breakfast room was completely different. Sparse, unloved. It had the charm of a storage room. See photos. We had a room on the street. The noise was very loud due to the busy street and the poorly insulated and old windows. There is no air conditioning... The accommodation seems like a detention center for travelers. You're completely on your own; you won't see anyone from the facility. If anything happens, you have a phone number. You had to take care of your own breakfast. There was instant coffee and tea, and ready-made porridge that you could make yourself. Even at an additional cost, no real breakfast was available The rooms are not made up. Upon request, a towel change was possible, but not on Weekends. On Monday the towels were changed. But our overflowing wastebasket was then simply ignored.

10/10 Exceptional

The owner of this place is amazing. I had an issue with the car rental company and he offered to help which he didn't have to but was greatly appreciated. The room was immaculate. The bathroom, which is important to me was very clean as well. The city is right around the corner. There's a bus that takes you directly there. The parking is a little tricky but it wasn't anything that was too bad. I really recommend this place to anyone who travels to Edinburgh. It's close enough to the city but not in the hectic part of the city

8/10 Very good

A nice affordable option for staying in Edinburgh. We stayed to visit the Edinburgh Tattoo and with a short Taxi ride to the city cente (roughly £10) we'd definitely stay again.
Kathleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, good and clean

The room was functional for our needs, with a newly renovated and nice bathroom. However, the bedroom felt a bit tight for a couple, and there were no hangers for clothing or provided toiletries. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a quiet, no-frills place to rest. That said, check-in was a bit stressful—there were no clear instructions, and no one was there to greet us right at check-in time. Additionally, I thought I was booking a room within the guesthouse but was instead assigned a newer room with an independent entry, which was fine but seemed much smaller than the one I originally selected.
Ivonne, 3-night trip

The guest house was amazing, quiet, and clean on the bus routes to into Edinburgh, there were a co-op and hot food options within walking distance also a beach not too far. The host amazing and attentive. I will definitely book again.
